Prof Hotez, as always, pointing out the misinformation emanating from the right and setting the record straight.

But he is fighting against the richest and most powerful purveyors of misinformation and propaganda on social media and in our govt.

Tweet by Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez There was no misuse: Covid mRNA vaccines saved 3.2 million American lives during the pandemic. Instead of 1.2 million Americans dying from Covid it would have been 4.4 million deaths. As it is 200,000-300,000 Americans died needlessly bc they refused Covid vaccines 2021-22. They were victims of a terrible disinformation campaign as detailed in our recent book #ScienceUnderSiege @MichaelEMann @PeterHotez Embedded tweet by Elon Musk @elonmusk Replying to @EricTopol Despite its obvious misuse during Covid, mRNA has tremendous promise for curing diseases. Artificial RNA essentially makes curing diseases a software problem.
